After that error message cssdir now displays cmd line args passed to it.
* increased allowable maxlinelength /Schml: to 8192, was 4096 previously
* added new option /Lasfwopt: ... by default it does not consider many
of the "drawing" chars [outside normal displayable chars 0x1F to 0x7F]
and issues warnings (during a /Sch: operation)
/Lasfwopt:0 gives warning on chars outside 0x1F-0x7F
/Lasfwopt:1 do not give warning on the "drawing chars"
For help on /Lasfwopt: please use cssdir -hx
* added /Lrzz3 to list easize on zz files to match OS/2 and ecomstation
version however EASIZE in cssdir for windows is always 0.
* added to online help to include envVars - cssdirSkipDrvs
* some cleanup with more strigent compiler warnings
* Within cssdir.cfg
/$di$/ changed to include all drives except skipped ones
added /$allDi$/ which includes all drives (does not skip any)
added /$crcNoLicense$/
added /$bdi$/ to list boot drive info
added /$cdi$/ to list current drive info
added /Lrms to /$disetup$/ which gives error/warning msgs totals,
this is handy when using any of the /$...di$/ symbolics
If you wish to use your existing cssdir.cfg file please update
it accordingly from this new cssdir.cfg
* meaning updated on CSSDIR137:
a higher level purchased registered license is required, appropriate
text will be displayed on issuance of CSSDIR137

* licensing terms have been adjusted, and are in terms; These supercede
all other included ones.
* fixed issue when /Lfd3 is requested on root drive directory which has
no '.' entry, i.e. NTFS, FAT and possibly others.
* auto generated symbolic constant /$$RmtDrvs$/ will now not translate
to empty string if no remote drives are detected. Instead it will
translate into '?:noRemoteDrivesFound'.
* fixed issue: error opening a file during multiple search strings
